As a Chicagoan, do I have any excuse for having never built a legitimate snowman? I’ve made snowballs, snow angels, and even a rudimentary fort, but never a snowman. Earlier this month, when old man winter dumped 20 inches of powder on Chicago, I neglected to build a snowman. Shame on me. Who knows, maybe March will bring another big snowfall, and with it another chance to make good. The “snowhawk” in this strip is excellent, but it needs a few more elements to really bring it to life. Hmm…a leather jacket here, a Mr. T-inspired necklace there, and…perfect.
